I am a working mum with 2 pre-school children. I want to do things better and to make some changes to our lifestyle. I want to feel that I am doing my bit.
The problem I have had with trying to be a greener person and family is that I'm not ready to go all the way down the green route. We eat non-organic food, have 2 cars and even use disposable nappies (you᾿re shocked I can tell!)
When I have tried to engage with the green community I’ve felt hopelessly inadequate because I just don’t come up to scratch. I have a car, I use it when I need it. I tried washable nappies but they were so huge on my newborn baby’s bottom (and I was so tired and she was crying etc etc) that I swapped to disposables and never looked back. This is turning into a green confession.
But I don’t want to feel guilty; I just want to start somewhere. So... This is it. This is me starting somewhere.
